Say No to Plastic Straws

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

    What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

    I regularly use straws, plastic bags, plastic water bottles, etc. I could substitute those products with others that are more long lasting material like stainless steel water bottles and elastic or metal reusable straws.

    I choose the actions I did because I was looking for more of a challenge and these seemed like the perfect amount of challenge to add to my life.

    What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reuseable one with you? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to establish this a successful habit?

    I have been in that situation before and it sucks! I had to just put it in the cart and hope for the best. I think I could probably use a cardboard box as a substitute or always make sure that I carry reusesble bags with me when I go shopping or somewhere where I might need to grab some items.
